The Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, Andrei Kartapolov, said that negotiations on the restructuring of the Russian Armed Forces, in particular on the extension of military service, should be held after the end of a special military operation. TASS.
“I think there is such a need today. [в увеличении сроков срочной службы до двух лет] no. First, since we defined an aggregation method [в ВС РФ]. Secondly, we are conducting a special military operation in which we are partially mobilized,” he said.
According to Kartapolov, it is not worth entering into a discussion on this issue right now. He believes it is necessary to complete a special military operation first, and then “deeply restructure the armed forces” based on the tasks to be tackled.
The State Duma representative also noted that first of all, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation should decide on the extension of military service, and then study the demand of the people. .
Kartapolov came to the conclusion that six months is enough to train a specialist who will have any military equipment today, and simpler specialties (shooter, grenade launcher, assistant grenade launcher) are mastered in three months.
